The Welsh side secured their latest title with a 1-0 victory over Germany in the final, completing an unbeaten tournament campaign in Australia.

This tournament extended their run of football success that has seen them lift the trophy in Wales, Japan, and now Australia.

One of the players at the heart of the remarkable achievement was Pembrokeshire's own Mick Algieri.

Speaking to the Western Telegraph, Mick reflected on the achievement and the sense of disbelief among the squad after securing another world title.

"We couldn't believe that we won it again," he said.

The victory was the culmination of a dominant campaign against teams from the United States, Canada and across Europe.

The team's record throughout the tournament underlined just how impressive their performances were.

"We didn't lose one game. We won seven games and drew one. Altogether we scored 13 goals and conceded only two," said Mick.

Wales' success came despite several players carrying injuries during the competition.

"We played really well every match despite a few of us having injuries." he said.

The over 70's Wales footballer said the squad consistently impressed opponents throughout the tournament.

"We played really well throughout the tournament and I think we surprised quite a few teams." he said.

One result in particular stood out.

"We knew some of the teams had prepared really well. One German side had spent a week training in Poland before the tournament, so to beat them 4-1 showed just how well we were playing." he said.

The latest triumph marks the third chapter in an extraordinary run for the Welsh veterans.

Having won the inaugural title on home soil, they successfully defended it in Japan before completing the hat-trick in Australia.

Mick said the scale of the achievement had not been lost on the players.

"To have won our first World Cup in Wales and then to have won it again in Japan last year, and now for a third time in Australia is just amazing."

The celebrations after the final whistle reflected the significance of what the squad had accomplished.

"When we won, everyone was shouting, celebrating and soaking it all in.

"It was a very special moment for the whole team." he said.

Praise has been paid to the entire Wales squad, along with manager Jon Ross and assistant manager Jason Kennedy, for guiding the team to another world title yet again.

While the players are still enjoying the moment, attention is already turning to the future.

Texas will host next year's Over-70s World Cup, where Wales will have the opportunity to defend their crown once again and bid for a fourth successive triumph.
